New Line of Digital Tire Pressure Gauges Launched by Promaster-Gauges

New Line of High End Digital Tire Pressure Gauges and Tire Inflators launched by Promaster-Gauges for those seeking a reliable and accurate Gauge.

Vancouver, Canada, September 13, 2012 -- A New Line of High End Digital Tire Pressure Gauges and Tire Inflators launched by Promaster-Gauges for those seeking a reliable and accurate Gauge.

These gauges and inflators read in Absolute Pressure and are temperature compensated. Absolute pressure readings meaning any atmospheric pressure differences, such as between being at sea level and being at the top of a mountain do not affect the readings. Temperature compensation is also included allowing for gauge readings in the middle of Summer to the middle of winter.

Many Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems work on "Absolute Pressure", which means atmospheric pressures do not affect them. This means you can get different readings from regular tire gauges when comparing to TPMS systems.

The new gauges from Promaster also have an ingress protection rating of IP65 for harsh environments.

Product is perfect for Tire Shops, Repair Shops, Cars, Large Trucks, RVs, Race Cars, Motorcycles, Industrial and Off-Road vehicles. Promaster-Gauges is a division of HawksHead Systems a leading supplier of aftermarket TPMS systems based out of the Vancouver, BC area.

The new gauges are backed by a 5 year warranty and come complete with their own protective storage bag to protect the gauge while not in use.

Physicians Attend the IAPAM's Symposium with Botox Training To Capture the Boomer Market

The IAPAM offers physicians the leading Botox ® training, filler training, and associated facial aesthetic medical education (including training on lasers for skin rejuvenation and hair removal, microdermabrasion and medical grade chemical peels) at its respected Aesthetic Medicine Symposium. The IAPAM's Symposium with Botox ® training shows physicians how to add non-insurance covered procedures to their practices to meet the demand of their aging patient base.

Las Vegas, Nevada, USA - September 8, 2012 -- Minimally invasive procedures, like Botox ®, dermal fillers and laser treatments, have surged by 356% reported the ASAPS and patients, ages 35 to 50 had the most procedures last year, nearly four million or 43% of the total, and patients ages 51 to 64 had an additional 28%, the ASAPS announced. So, as the over 70 million baby boomers seek help to keep the dreaded signs of aging at bay, the US market for aesthetic medical treatments balloons.

To capture this exploding market, physicians who are expertly trained in minimally invasive, anti-aging modalities and hCG for medical weight loss, are best positioned to grow their healthcare businesses. The IAPAM's Aesthetic Medicine Symposium (http://iapam.com/aesthetic-medicine-symposium-botox-training) is a weekend of hands-on Botox ® training as well as dermal filler training, laser training, hCG training etc., and is the only multi-day, symposium to offer education for physicians on how to profitably add the top 5 anti-aging modalities to a practice.

Watch a preview of the IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium with Botox ® Training at http://youtu.be/bBQlS0CpOvw

Physicians who have completed the IAPAM's multi-day integrated training program, including hCG Weight Loss, the AestheticMedicine Symposium and the Aesthetic Practice Business Start-Up have a significant competitive advantage.

For more information on the IAPAM's upcoming Aesthetic Medicine Symposium and/or hCG/Physician Weight Loss Training, please see http://www.iapam.com or contact the IAPAM at 1-800-219-5108 ext. 704.

Brazil is a Great Place to Invest, agrees FRA

A new article in IFA Magazine by Green Forestry Investments' Lisa Best, has been welcomed by FRA for championing Brazil as one of the best places to invest.

Seattle, United States, September 8, 2012 -- A new article in IFA Magazine by Green Forestry Investments' Lisa Best, has been welcomed by Forestry Research Associates (FRA) for championing Brazil as one of the best places to invest.

Lisa Best is a project manager for Green Forestry Investments and claims that, although Brazil’s economy is not growing as fast as it once was, it should definitely still be considered as a place to invest cash in alternatives, such as forestry and real estate.

Not only has the country become extremely stable, both economically and politically, in recent years it has also managed to win bids to host major sporting events over the coming few years. In 2014 the FIFA World Cup will be held in Brazil, while Rio will host the Olympics in 2016. For both of these events, considerable infrastructure investments will take place and the steel industry in particular is booming.

FRA’s analysis partner, Peter Collins, said, “This is one of the reasons why investing in forestry plantations in Brazil is a good bet. The plantations provide sustainable charcoal to the steel industry, who would otherwise be sourcing it form native forests which, as we all know, are threatened and extremely vulnerable.”

Ms Best added that Brazil already sources 85 per cent of the energy it needs from renewable sources. The government is still investing heavily in this area and, therefore, this is another reason why sustainable timber plantations that could produce biomass are worth investing in.

FRA supports all kinds of ethical investing and particularly green investments like timberland. Mr Collins explained that a growing number of investors want to see something with an intrinsic value in exchange for their hard-earned cash following the economic collapse. “Forestry investments through firms like Greenwood Management and Green Forestry Investments are a good option for risk-averse alternative investors,” stated Mr Collins.

NOVATO, Calif. (September 7, 2012) -- LinkedIn is the first stop recruiters make when searching for qualified job candidates, which makes it harder to compete for the best candidates available.

AAA says Social Stock Exchange is a Success

AAA has welcomed reports that suggest the Impact Exchange Board is flourishing.

Boston, MA, USA, September 7, 2012 -- Alternative Asset Analysis (AAA) has welcomed reports that suggest the Impact Exchange Board is flourishing.

The iX, as it is known, is a stock exchange for social investment projects, which was launched about a year ago alongside partner the Stock Exchange of Mauritius.

Tamzin Ratcliffe, who dreamed up the idea of the social stock exchange, says that the exchange is set to start operation in the third quarter of next year. She says that six social enterprises have already signed up to the listing process and that any investors, even unaccredited ones, will be able to buy shares in these companies.

Ratcliffe said that social enterprises have been slow off the mark in signing up to be publicly listed as they are not used to seeking out funds this way. She said, “Going to the market for money is not something they're used to.

The process of encouraging companies and getting them to understand the value of being part of a marketplace - that’s been quite a lot of work.”

AAA's analysis partner, Anthony Johnson, claims that the social stock exchange is a great idea for generating interest and making investment in ethical projects more accessible to all. He said, "Being able to sign up to buy and sell stocks in social enterprises is a great idea and we are sure the project will be a huge success.”

AAA is a supporter of impact investing and investment in ethical projects that can benefit communities and the environment. Mr Johnson says that investing in timberland projects that are sustainably operated is a good option for anyone who wants to diversify their investment portfolio. “If the value of your fully grown trees are not what you expect at the time of maturity,” claims Mr Johnson, “you can always just hang onto them and watch them grow even larger while prices rise.”

Glen Allen, Virginia - September 7, 2012 -- Industry analyst firm NanoMarkets announces a new report on display materials: "Markets for Optically Functional Films and Coatings in Displays - 2012." This report analyzes the opportunities for display films/coatings over the next eight years. These will grow to nearly $10 billion ($US) in revenues by 2019.


About the Report:

Optically functional film types covered in this report include: front-surface films for antiglare/antireflection, viewing angle compensation and color/contrast enhancement; polarizer films; and BLU films (reflectors, diffusers, prisms, reflective polarizers, and multifunctional films). These materials are sold for OLED, e-paper and plasma display sectors as well as for the market-dominant LCDs.

As in all NanoMarkets reports, this report contains eight-year forecasts of optically functional films/coatings in displays in both area and value terms, with breakouts by film type and display type. Key players discussed include 3M, Asahi Kasei, Chei Mei, DuPont Teijin, Dai Nippon Printing, E-FUN, Fujifilm, Hyosung, Kaneka, Konica Minolta, Kuraray, LG, Lucky Film, Nippon Gohsei, Keiwa, Kolon, MN-Tech, Nippon Paper, Mitsubishi Rayon, Nippon Synthetic, Nitto Denko, NOF, Opto, Polatechno, Samsung, Shinwha Intertek, SK, Sumitomo, TacBright, Teijin, Toppan Printing, Toray, Zeon, and others.

From the Report:

Although the display films business is mature, NanoMarkets identifies OLED displays as presenting a strong long-term market for film makers as OLEDs begin to take market share from traditional LCD strongholds such as mobile displays and televisions. Like LCDs, OLEDs will use antiglare/antireflection films, but their success will also boost certain kinds of specialist films. One opportunity is films designed to increase the color uniformity of OLEDs at wider viewing angles. Another is certain kinds of polarizer films that improve the bright light readability of OLEDs.

And, according to the report, more immediate opportunities can still be found in the LCD film business.

By 2016, contrast/color enhancement films for LCDs will bring in almost $300 million. NanoMarkets remains bullish on this sector, because there is a growing tendency among LCD makers to shift production towards higher performance displays that urgently need these kinds of films. This shift is being driven by competition from both OLEDs and sophisticated consumers looking for a 3-D/HD visual environment. These films may also be combined with antiglare/antireflection films to create multifunctional products, reducing costs further.

Prism/brightness enhancement films are already the largest sector of the display optical film market, but are expected to see further growth. Boosting sales here will be the need to optimize the amount of light coming out of the BLU for a given power level in mobile displays. These films also enable the cost of using fewer LEDs in the BLU to be traded off against the cost of using more sophisticated films like reflective polarizers.

The development and commercialization of multifunctional optical films - for example, films that combine prism features with a diffuser - is a key trend. Such films can reduce the thickness of displays, as well as their cost. They can also make manufacturing easier. NanoMarkets believes that the market for multifunctional BLU films will grow past the $0.5 billion mark within five years.
